Captain Dale Britt, Dr. Andre Boustany of Duke,
Chris Butler of NC State, and the f/v Sensation Crew of the
all North Carolina TAG team scored by tagging an 8O inch fish. The Tuna
was caught in 48 degree waters, with gannets, loons and dolphins
swimming nearby. It was great to see North Carolina fishers and scientists
working together across school lines. And nice
to know at least one Giant is swimming free with a tag.
Today- they're out with a small group of boats trying to work
cooperatively Tag-A-Giant Style. Good luck. Go Duke!
Go Team- and Congrads
The search for bluefin tuna is on! A team of scientists from Stanford University and other partner institutions is scouring waters in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The goal - to place electronic tags in giant bluefin tuna to learn more about their migrations, behavior, and environmental preferences. Read about their adventures below...
